There are two basic theories for the origin of crude oil: biotic and abiotic.
The origin of petroleum or natural gas may seem like a strange debate to have but determining whether this fuel is a fossil fuel or not is important.
If these fuels are truly fossil fuels, then they are limited in supply and alternative energy resources would need to be created at some point.
If they are not fossil fuels and are created through some form of abiogenesis – a natural process from non-living matter – then the need to develop alternative fuels is diminished.

The biotic theory is that oil and gas drilled out of the earth come from the remains of plants and animals trapped underground millions of years ago. These “fossil fuels” took aeons to form and we are using them up far faster than they can be replenished.
This fossil fuel theory is, however, just that – a theory. There are manyfeatures of the fossil-origin theory which still apparently puzzle some scientists. So, what if the whole theory is wrong?
The abiotic theory is an opposing view that has substantial evidence to back it up. This theory goes back centuries and includes as its prominent champions Dimitri Mendeleev, best known for inventing the periodic table.

While the chemistry is quite complex, environmental chemistTristan Coleman wrote, the principle behind the abiotic oil idea is actually quite simple.
